Kinboshi Tags Kobe with 5-3 Defeat
Kinboshi first baseman Sakan Hashizume contributed significantly to his team's 5-3 win over the Kobe Bulls. Hashizume, who finished 3rd in the WL in slugging percentage with .581 in 1956, went 1 for 1 with 2 runs scored to lead the offensive attack for the Kites. The win brings the Kites to 6-4, a promising start as the team looks to return to the playoffs.

Kinboshi used a timely hit from 29-year old second baseman Sueo Shimabukuro to get the win. The second baseman delivered a 2-run triple in the top of the seventh inning to put the Kites on top, 5-3. It was his only hit in 4 at-bats, but it was huge.

Shimabukuro attributed the win to "energy and focus on the part of everyone."
